Finally Team India discard Prithvi Shaw had a huge relief as Mumbai police told a Court in Mumbai that social media influencer Sapna Gill’s allegation about the cricketer molesting her at a pub in suburban Andheri in Mumbai is ‘false and unfounded’.
As per sources, the investigating officer appeared before the magistrate, presiding over the case, on Monday and submitted a report about the matter.
After the submission of the report, Gill’s lawyer Ali Kaashif Khan requested the court to allow him to present the video footage of the alleged brawl that Gill’s friend had recorded on his phone, which went viral in the media. The lawyer also sought a CCTV grab of the incident that occurred outside the pub.
Subsequently, the court asked the police to submit the footage of the entire incident and adjourned the matter to June 28.
Notably, Sapna had lodged a complaint before a magistrate court in Andheri seeking registration of FIR under IPC sections 354 (Assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty.), 509 (Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) and 324 (Voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means) against Shaw and his friend Ashish Yadav for assaulting her with a bat in February.
